Happy St. Patrick’s Day! In case you’re wondering, there really is such a thing as a “clurichaun.” I mean, there’s such a thing as a mythical Irish fairy called a “clurichaun.” I tell you: the things you have to know to be a cartoonist! Mostly, you have to know how to get to the Google search page. If it seems I’m chronically nostalgic for all things pre-digital, let me tell you how cartoonists used to do things. They actually kept catalogs and files of clippings at hand, just so they’d know how to draw, say, a lawn mower. Now? Pffft! Google “lawn mower” and instantly see images of just about every type of lawn mower ever invented or imagined. Also back then, every good cartoonist’s shelves groaned with dictionaries and thesauruses and encyclopedias! Now, it’s dust and old Beanie Babies.

McGhost Sweetie, how high? High enough! 😉
Thanks all for the encouragement as I really am not a fan of exercise. I am just stubborn enough to refuse to lay down and give up. I think Jackie is, too, so she will do well, right, Jackie?
I have a piece of corned beef in the fridge, but haven’t had a chance to cook it yet. Maybe today with cabbage, potatoes, and carrots. And soda bread, of course.
Can-can dancer high, Jean dear? 😉
Got the ingredients yesterday afternoon but never got around to preparing my corned beef and cabbage last night. I’ll probably enjoy it more today, anyway. And I’ve been threatening to try to make soda bread for years. Perhaps today is the day.
How many of you, like I did when I was so much younger, heard the term corned beef and thought it was a hash made with corn and beef?
Good morning. Woke up early. What ARE all of you doing up so early on a Saturday morning? Don’t you have something better to do like sleep?
There’s a ton of stuff I’d rather do beginning with going back to sleep but I guess I absolutely must go unlock the doors on the Chinese laundry. I don’t think the Chinese leprechauns are there still.
McGR 😉 back at ya…what a combination too…

…I too need to do some laundry….manana 🙂
Van Morrison is just like some of my once beautiful boyfriends, he has not aged well.
But his music continues to be beautiful.
As the Man Once Known As SAND said wisely, “Jackie, we were all young and beautiful then.”
I need a Diet Coke. They are all out in van in carport.
What to do?
everyone say awwww……

TR….I did too
Debbe I prefer his more upbeat music like Someone Like You.
https://youtu.be/9KHk9d2pQFU
These lyrics speak to me. But that is why his music continues to be loved. Someone exactly like you. The best is yet to come.
And here’s another I love, These Are the Days.

This man wrote some beautiful music. Tupelo Honey is playing right now.
Debbe,
You reminded me of the old Peggie Lee song,”Manana”! One of my all time favorites. Thanks.
Jackie,
“The Best Is Yet To Come” Another great jazz tune with meaning! Thanks.
How about Elvis’ “Are You Lonesome Tonight?”
God bless us every one. God bless the USA.
Jackie, again you are right…it is a ‘downer’ song….I absolutely love his on the Bright Side of the Road….gonna find it….for me..I need a ‘lift’ today
playing now in the background 🙂

….you are welcome Domaucon
You are welcome Debbe. I was actually listening to that song but you found it before I could post it!
Listen to upbeat music and not songs that bring you down. And here’s another Jackie tip, wear clothes that bring you up and all who see you. I have on navy jeans with bright pink and baby blue roses, a navy lace tee crocheted actually, hot pink quilted jacket, pink beads, cap, shoes, purse all in those sunny pinks.
Heck, the devil would smile if he saw me. Of course he might just laugh because he knows I’m on my way.
Here’s another Van Morrison upbeat

Tell someone you love them today.
Still 3 unhatched eggs. Peace,

Natalie MacMaster is my go-to for upbeat. 😉

You know I was always ashamed to admit the governor of Louisiana wrote this song until just now. I had not heard Aretha Franklin sing You Are My Sunshine.
See if it doesn’t make you smile too. https://youtu.be/uguScvZfnhg
